RANGER Vehicles Are Relied Upon By Firefighters, Rescue Agencies & More
A unit like this was purchased by the Alger County Sheriff’s Department in Michigan\'s Upper Peninsula.
The versatility of Polaris RANGER vehicles is reinforced when you browse through the gallery on the RKOP Enterprises website of RANGERs equipped with firefighting and rescue equipment. You get a great understanding of how valuable RANGERs can be to firefighting departments, law enforcement agencies, search and rescue teams, fish and wildlife agencies and security units.

RKO Enterprises is a Madison, Indiana-based manufacturer of specialized equipment for firefighting, rescue and security vehicles, primarily trucks, trailers and RANGER vehicles. Once RKO acquires a RANGER, it equips it with whatever type of equipment a fire department or other agency might desire, including:

• “50-gallon copolymer water tank with 5-gallon integral foam cell”

• “Class B fire knockdown capability with (2) Ansul 30 lb. PKP extinguishers and a RKO 150 gallon B (6%) foam fire unit mounted to a RKO aluminum trailer with torsional axles”

• “RKO-Junkin rescue stokes system [and] RKO stainless steel piping”

• “100-gallon copolymer tank with 5-gallon integral foam cell and high-performance fire pump with RKO form induction system”

• And more.

RKO has even equipped RANGERs for use by the New York Fire Department (NYFD) for quick response operations and use during events such as major parades and at venues such as the Statue of Liberty.

There’s a link on the RKO website to the Pure Polaris website so RANGER owners can shop for and/or purchase genuine Polaris RANGER accessories for their rescue vehicles.

The RKO-equipped RANGERs are used the world over, proving that RANGER versatility knows no bounds and no borders.
